Re:Ask HN: Can we add an option to open links in new window? by pwg on Monday January 28, 2013 @09:24PM (#5132012)
In Firefox clicking a link with your middle mouse button will open the link in a new tab (or window, depending on your about:config setting).

IE 8 opens a new tab on middle mouse click.

A new tab is not identical to a new window, but does mean you don't lose your place on the HN page just because you clicked a link.
